two analytics accounts on one site and mine shows no data

Took over marketing for a client and their site source has two different tracking IDs in it. The analytics account I was given access to shows zero sessions, so it's obviously not the live one. How do I work out which account the real tag reports to, and who owns it?

Another one to rule out: you're looking at a different property than the one the tag sends to. Go to Admin > Data streams and open the stream. It tells you whether it has received data in the last 48 hours, and the measurement ID there has to be the exact one on the site.

Two GA4 properties on one site work fine side by side, so the problem is almost always that your tag isn't actually firing. Open the site, view source (or use Tag Assistant) and search for your G- measurement ID. If it isn't there, whatever you added it through isn't loading it, common when the other person set theirs up in Tag Manager and you used a plugin. Also check whether a cookie banner is blocking it until consent. Realtime should show you within a minute or two once it's right, the standard reports can lag a day.
